Request QuoteSS 904L fasteners are high-alloy austenitic stainless steel fasteners made using UNS N08904 or DIN 1.4539 material. These fasteners are highly resistant to strong reducing acids, chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking, and crevice corrosion. SS 904L is a non-stabilized low carbon high alloy stainless steel with added copper, which gives it strong resistance to various acids.
Due to their robustness, SS 904L fasteners are widely used in industries such as petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, seawater equipment, condensers, heat exchangers, and more. Common types include hex bolts, socket head cap screws, stud bolts, heavy hex nuts, spring washers and U-bolts.
Before selecting SS 904L fasteners, it's essential to understand their specifications. These specs guide engineers and procurement managers in choosing the right components for pressure-handling and corrosive applications.
